Osaka Castle

#cherryblossom25 Osaka Castle is one of the best places to see cherry blossoms in Japan. Every spring, around late March to early April, the area around the castle becomes covered in soft pink and white flowers. Over 3,000 cherry trees bloom in Nishinomaru Garden, a park next to the castle. The contrast between the historic stone walls, the elegant white castle tower, and the colorful blossoms is truly beautiful. People from all over Japan and the world come to see the sakura at Osaka Castle. Families and friends enjoy “hanami” picnics under the trees. At night, the trees are lit up with soft lights, creating a romantic and peaceful mood. The night castle with glowing blossoms is especially famous.
